Sometimes, the best way to tell a dog’s story is to let them tell it themselves.

Here’s what this sweet boy wants you to know 🤭 “Hi, I’m Everest🏔️🐾💕! I’m a five-month-old, 24-pound pitbull mix. I may be the runt of my litter, but I’m huge in personality and have an endless supply of love to give. My start in life hasn’t exactly been a walk in the park. I was part of a litter living outside and was adopted when I was around six weeks old. Recently, I was returned to the property I originally came from and, through no fault of my own, I found myself back where I started - sleeping outside alone in the cold. Thankfully, I’m now safe, healthy, and ready for my next chapter with my forever family! I’m incredibly sweet, smart, affectionate, and eager to learn. I’m crate trained and am doing great with potty training when kept on a regular routine, and picking up recall nicely. I’m also an absolute dream in the car! I’m a tug enthusiast, a world-class snuggler, and I’ve never met a treat I didn’t like. I love to run, romp, and play (my ears go into sports mode when I get excited), so I’ll likely grow into an athletic, active guy who needs plenty of exercise and enrichment. Like most puppies, I can be a bit mouthy, but I redirect beautifully to toys - and sometimes that extra mouthiness is just my way of telling you I need a nap. I’m incredibly social with people and love being around them and giving kisses. My foster mom is pretty much obsessed with me, and everyone I meet seems to fall just as hard. I get lots of comments about what a love bug I am!” Ready to move mountains for your new bestie? ➡️ Visit Everest’s profile at hopeanimals.org/adopt to apply and follow along his journey with @poppyhaushippo (and reach out if you have questions about him! )🏔️🐾💕
